Born in Brooklyn and built to perform

Each pair of SR60e headphones is made right in Brooklyn, New York where the Grado family has been building award-winning audio gear for more than 60 years. Like all Grado headphones, the SR60e uses a vented "open-air" earcup design with large, non-resonant air chambers for powerful, extended bass response and more open, spacious sound. Each driver features a high-quality copper voice coil to ensure smooth, dynamic performance with exceptionally low distortion. Drivers are also carefully matched to within 0.1 dB for enhanced stereo imaging and a wide soundstage.

Average Review:

Detailed, neutral sound. Reveals musical subtleties in familiar pieces I have never heard before. Comfortable for long periods. Simply couldn't ask more from a set of headphones, and an amazing value! Crutchfield's support was, as usual, terrific.

Cons:None

Great sound and value for the price.

While I haven't road tested every pair out there, Grados seem to me to be about the best there is for the price. Build is very solid, sound is detailed and natural and the phones can be driven by small portable devices.
They are not sound isolating, and they are not heavy bass-centric. But if you listen along the classical/jazz/vocal/pop spectrum- even traditional rock and roll, these are excellent for the price.
The foam can begin to press a bit and is a bit warm if you're listening for really extended periods.

Pros:Great natural, detailed sound
Solid build

Cons:Can feel a bit heavy and warm with extended listening.

They do what they're supposed to!

Many have said that these headphones are uncomfortable and that they are flimsy. I find them to be somewhat less comfortable than many over-the-ear phones, but I think that's more a function of their being on-the-ear phones. As far as flimsy--- No, but they are NOT built for careless handling by people who want to toss them around with their portable players. What they are is excellent sounding phones for listening to excellent recordings--- Mercedes sound for a Kia price. No, they're not for kids. But they are wonderful for music lovers who like to sit quietly and enjoy what they're listening to--- for not very much money at all.

Pros:Wonderful sound quality

Cons:None-- within the context for which they were designed for.

Grado SR60e Headphones

They sound great and are good for singers, but the earpieces are free spinning so the cord becomes tangled and crimped VERY easily. The left speaker quit working halfway through my first vocal session and was intermittent at best for the rest of the sessions. Great idea. Bad design.

Pros:Great Sound.

Cons:Bad Design. Poor components and build. Not built to withstand regular session wear and tear in a real world studio environment. I almost feel as if I have to handle them like I would some fine china. Kinda silly for a pair of cans. I have several pair of $20 headphones that sound almost as good and have been working through a hundred sessions for over six years. This is way too much for a pair of headphones that won't last more than one project.

Best sound for uder $100

This Grado product delivers on the promise of outstanding sound quality. For under $100 you get the legendary performance that Grado builds into their headphones costing 10X as much. Before beating the other well known names in the leading consumer magazine bake-off, I previously have purchased Grado headphones based on their history and that they represent only a handful of American made audio products. Now with the rating our, I feel my decisions have been validated by pros. The audio spaciousness and full dimension of sound that you experience is unparalleled. I like the plain unassuming packaging that shows this product was shipped locally and hard shelled packaged to survive a cargo shipment from China.

Pros:The open air design enhances the experience that better represents actual listening environments

Cons:Open air design does emit sound and lets in outside noise that could be distracting...

Great Mid Price Headphone

The sound is headphones is great for a mid-price set. Rich bass, nice highs. Comfortable to wear, too. Because they are truly "on-ear", the music can be heard (quietly) by people in the room (unlike over-ear or in-ear headphones). So these would not be the best choice, say, for wearing in a library!

Pros:Great sound at a great price

Cons:sound can be heard by others in the room.

Grado SR60e

High quality product. Reliable, distortion free sound from the lowest to the highest volume. Ear pads and headband are comfortable. My 86 year old mother was having trouble distinguishing the dialog while watching tv. After I connected these headphones to the Pro-Ject Head Box S amplifier, also purchased from Crutchfield, that I connected to her tv cable box, she says she can now hear the dialog clearly.

Great Value & Performance

I've gone through many brands of headphones and earphones and have to say that I wasted a lot of time when I should have just stayed with Grado. I've owned a pair of the original SR60's for more than 15 years, and was curious to see what the new model would do (worth trying for the price). My impression is that BOTH headphones are great and the new 60e may have some sonic improvements that are very subtle. I compare them to my Sennheiser on-ear Momentums and I think the Grado's blow away the Sennheisers at 1/3 the price.

Pros:Great resolution, speed, frequency range, soundstage. Wonderful value. They also service their products in Brooklyn -- I sent my old pair back there for new cables after several years of use and the cost to do that was very fair. The older SR60's still look and play like new.

Cons:Open air headphones. Will not block out outside sounds and others in the room will hear what you are listening to.

Have had them before. These were for my son. Best headphone at the price that I know of.

Recommendation by Crutchfield team member, price point and Grado reputation.
[ David May 19, 2017 ]

Grado headphones are comfortable, accurate, really good sound. The construction is flimsy, however, especially the way the ear cups connect to the headband. I can't understand why even their thousand+ dollar phones have the same apparatus. So with constant use, especially in a studio situation, they have to be replaced every couple years.

1 question already asked

I tried it on my HP and it worked fine. Sound was the same as using the computer's headphone output. Not as good tone quality as my external computer speakers but I didn't try adjusting any settings.
[ Tom Dec 16, 2014 ]

Yes. And it comes with an adapter for a proper stereo too.
[ Steve Dec 15, 2014 ]

The headphones have standard large jacks and standard mini jacks. I don't know what is on the Dell.
[ JEFFREY W Dec 15, 2014 ]

I tried plugging mine into the head phone jack of my Mac OS X and got very good sound. WARNING: first, turn down the volume about 1/4 maximum so you don't blow your eardrums. No harm in trying this on your Dell.
